Okay, the problem with bringing EVERYTHING up is that it may come across that I don't appreciate her or that I have only complaints to deliver or that I'm focusing on what I don't like instead of what I love about her.

I mean, there are so many things to cover during the 50 minutes that it seems a waste to go down a road that may give her the wrong impression. I want her to know how much I need and depend on her, not my pitiful little crybaby whining.

therapists that discuss the challenges they face with their clients. It can be extremely difficult for them to 'handle' some of their clients and they have to face their own feelings, etc. and I don't want to consciously risk hurting her.

I have done things in session without planning that was hurtful and I have felt extremely ashamed about it.
